How did you wean off Metoprolol?

Sounds good, I too am weaning myself off of Metropolol 25 mg twice per day and Sandoz Levetiracetam 500 mg twice per day.. I had lower back pain of 10 on a scale of 1 to 10. I cut it in half twice per day and back pain went to a 5. My mind was not as dull and I could think properly again but not as sharp as before i was put on this drug by the Cardiologist. My Neurologist suggested i try this approach and he was correct about the side effects and said I should cut back slowly. I have cut back the medication over a 6 week period.

The effect of this drug on the mental capacity reduction is quite dramatic. I then cut the medication to just once per day at 12.5 mg in the evening.only. My mind has gone back so I can now do mental work again during the day. As an engineer that is quite significant.

I suggest that you get more exercise, preferably aerobic if you can. Cut out all stimulants including coffee and alcohol. Even on morning coffee can get your heart going off track. It worked for me and I am 25 years free of a very serious case of Afib.
